During a government meeting on Thursday, the Estonian government confirmed the new composition of the Cultural Capital Council. The proposal was made by the Minister of Culture and marks a renewal of the council's members, which has a term of two years. This new council will aim to oversee the distribution of funds to various cultural sectors in Estonia.

The new members include representatives from various artistic and cultural sectors, such as Erich Teigamägi for physical culture and sports, Riina Sildos for audiovisual arts, and Raivo Põldmaa for performing arts. Each member represents different capital sectors within culture, while also including representatives from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Finance. This change signifies the government's commitment to adapt and renew the cultural landscape in Estonia.

By renewing the council's membership, the Estonian government seeks to enhance engagement with a diverse range of artistic disciplines and cultural practices. This move is anticipated to foster a more dynamic and adaptive approach to cultural funding and policy-making, reflecting the evolving needs of the Estonian cultural sector as it faces contemporary challenges and opportunities.
